I'm leaning towards an old school paint scheme, but it's not finale yet
I could make two bodies
A modern Traxxas sponsored and
an old school, perhaps using some of the Tamiya Sand Scorcher and Rough Rider decals
I do think that the Jconcepts J82 front wheels & tyres will look allot better
Do you know of any other 2,2" tyres that are 110mm high with a realistic thread ?
These (rock crawler offsets) 2.2" RPM Revovlers & Proline Dirt Hawgs come in at a little under 90mm...but they are very scale looking...the lug pattern is near perfect match for the classic VW/Buggy pattern used in most VW based off roaders.. To narrow the fronts, you will have to remove the outer tire bead mounting area..plus they will work w/any 12mm hub.
So far, your project looks great!

Projects and shelfers: Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...
I have 3 power options
1: 2350kv max 4s
2: 3000kv max 4s but runs best on 2s -3s
3: 35T on 7,2v ..mostly for trail riding and when my daughter's driving
However
The problem is She wants to go FAST ..And She's almost 6 Years old ..So better late than never
She LOVES to drive my BL Hyper 7 WOT
Oh and the rolling chassis weighs 1500g without the rollcage
and the rollcage weighs 630g
Thanks ED
I had the stock Rustler arms at first and they are almost 12mm wider than the Slash arms,
that's 1" total and I didn't like how wide it was.
The Slash arms come with 3 degree and the Rustler arms are zero
The front is 5mm wider total, thanks to the Losi inline hub
I'm thinking about making a custom set of 2,2" wheels and hub,
so I can use the RC4WD Dune X/T 2.2 Off-Road Tires
Oh and just for laughs
Here's my SRB with Bandit wheels, I'm thinking ..with 2.2" switch tyres in the back and either narrowed switch or J82 front tyres
it will look ever closer to the real thing, I'll make my own one-off wheels if I can't get the Bandit wheels to work
Front is 10,5" wide
Rear is 11,2" wide
It's 11,5" wide with 1/8th buggy wheels
The bulkhead is from my SRT and milled out to clear the gearbox instead of making a new bulkhead
I am sharing photos of my MIP/Tamiya car as last raced in early 1985 in the Open class with a Checkpoint Gold motor. This was my very first RC car with the initial kit purchased from Tower Hobbies. I recall the price being $105.00 minus the...

So I picked up this Team C Racing TC02CST stadium truck rolling chassis. It's complete with the exception of a spur gear and slipper clutch. The style looks very similar to an RC10B6 slipper, where the top shaft has two opposing sides...
i was just wondering if someone could list all of the parts need to convert a rc10 buggy to a stadium truck. also, are the parts sill made or would i have to get them from ebay?

Has anybody done or even seen one of these in person? I love the look and was hopping to get that look when I bought my rere Sand Rover. but with the dt02 chassis its just not going to happen. I like that his is built on the SRB chassis and I dont...

well I started working on the motor while I am waiting for my coil over shocks to come in. I used model car chrome foil on the valve covers and the air cleaners tops to give them a nice chrome finish. it sucks you cant really see the air cleaners...
In admiration of 1300GT's 4wd SRB, I'm starting on my own attempt at building a similar car. I figured out a B4 slipper gearbox setup in this thread -
Now I'm mocking things up for the chassis. 2 3D printed replica MIP gearboxes, 3D Printed front...

Its virtually impossible to eliminate bump steer on a trailing arm 4wd car as the steering wants to be in front of the gearbox , whole thing is looking really good .
Does anyone have any Spec Class racing with Traxxas vehicles in their areas going on? Something to pull in the entry level folks?
With all the support of 1-1 motorsports Traxxas has to be selling a ton of vehicles and the LHS is always doing work...

The old Traxxas cars/trucks were awesome. They had a good reputation, but unfortunately just never took off like AE or Losi did. The rustler/stampede/bandit platform too me are basically entry level versions of the old Traxxas race vehicles. They...
Howdy, so I acquired a TRX-T Eagle with a Blue Eagle trans upgrade. My current thought(s) on the matter is/are:
Runner with a mix of vintage and modern/still available/compatible/equivalent parts.....
Like a TRX-SRT-T Condor or something. No Blue...

IIRC there was a white and black version of the idler. For some reason, I remember the black ones being more durable. But to tell you the truth, I never had an issue with the white ones. But I was a stock motor club racer kid.
